Location

A little beyond kilometre 5 of the road from la Riba to Farena (TV-7044) we will find a path (data from 1994) that climbs among some old abandoned terraces up to a very characteristic rocky outcrop and goes in between the two crags that form this relief. Continuing a little further, now without a path, behind the crag on the left is the Avenc del Misteri. About 50 metres further E is the Avenc del Rovelló. Approximate coordinates.

Description

Morphology

Through a small 4-metre shaft one enters a chaotic gallery, full of blocks and with different short branches. The point of maximum depth is -10.4 m.

Progression

After a short drop of about 2 metres one reaches the point of maximum depth (-10.4) and from there the gallery becomes slightly ascending until reaching a second exit to the outside.
